Appeal after teen is assaulted in racist attack

A TEENAGER has been punched in the face in Abergavenny, in a suspected racially-motivated attack.

Gwent Police are appealing for information following an assault that took place in Albert Road, Abergavenny on Monday afternoon.

A 14-year-old boy was walking from Alexandra Road into Albert Road at around 12.30pm, when he saw three males nearby. As he got halfway down the road one of the males ran past him, turned and shoved him into another standing behind him. This second man then punched him in the face. They both ran off and got into a car which is believed to have been driven by the third male.

The first male is described as white, 16-17 years-old, 5’10”-5’11” tall and medium build. He had a thin nose wearing a black zip up hoody, hood up, with white ‘graffiti’ writing on it, dark grey, baggy, jersey jogging bottoms and scruffy white trainers.

The second male is described as white 17-18 years-old, 6’ tall, skinny build, wearing mid grey pull on plain hoody with hood up, dark grey jersey baggy jogging bottoms. This male had a cut under the right side of his jaw about 3cm in length and was fairly fresh.
